Increase efficiency, Lower cost, Eliminate risk of cross-contamination

There are bacteria on 86% of “disinfected” instrument handles in hospitals!

A recent study1 revealed bacteria on 86% of instrument handles. These handles were disinfected and designated ‘ready for use’ in hospital settings. This study demonstrates a clear potential for transmission of pathogens, and highlights a clear risk to both staff and patients.

Top 5 Benefits of ER-SPEC

Entirely Single-Use

Zero Assembly/No Additional Parts

Built-in Targeted Light Source

Save Time/Increase efficiency

Reduce Risk of Cross-Contamination

Entirely Single-Use

Problem:Reusable parts/components create unnecessary liability. They elevate the risk of cross-contamination and are more likely to fail due to wear and tear. In addition, reusable parts/components add cost. They need to be reprocessed after each use and replaced when broken or misplaced.

Solution:ER-SPEC eliminates the need for reusable light sources or replacement parts/components. ER-SPEC comes with a built-in LED light source, so there is no need for recharging units or spare batteries. The entire device is single-use; the facility incurs NOadditional expenses.

Zero Assembly/No Additional Parts

Problem:Most disposable vaginal speculums require the use of a reusable light source, these light source must be: cleaned after each use, re-charged or plugged in, replaced when burned-out/broken, and found when misplaced/borrowed.

Solution:Each ER-SPEC comes out of the package ready for use. Each ER-SPEC units comes with a built-in ultra bright single-use LED light source. No additional parts or components (replacement bulbs, light sources, chargers, etc.) are required.

Built-In Targeted Light Source

Problem:Reusable light sources can burn through batteries, constantly need charging, or require access to an electrical outlet. They can easily be broken or thrown out after use. They are expensive to replace and often require replacement parts and repair throughout the life of the unit.

Solution:Never worry about a reusable light source again. Each ER-SPEC comes with a built-in ultra bright LED light source. ER-SPEC light source does not utilize a light pipe of any kind so the maximum power of the light source is fully realized. High-powered illumination is achieved without generating any damaging heat.

Save Time/Increase Efficiency

Problem:How many times have you had to run out of the exam room to find your departments light source while your patient waits uncomfortably for her exam? If this is a regular occurrence for you and your staff, you are not alone. Hospital’s rarely have enough light sources to meet the demand of their departments. Time wasted is not only money wasted but often patient dissatisfaction as well.

Solution:Never worry about searching for, replacing, or cleaning a reusable light source again. Each ER-SPEC comes out of the package ready for use. Each ER-SPEC unit comes with a built-in ultra bright LED light source. No additional parts or components required. Add a small, medium, and large vaginal speculum with light source to each exam room.

Reduce Risk of Cross-Contamination

Problem:Reusable light sources can be difficult to clean and for that reason are often neglected. A recent study1 revealed bacteria on 86% of instrument handles. These handles were disinfected and designated ‘ready for use’ in hospital settings. This study demonstrates a clear potential for transmission of pathogens, and highlights a clear risk to both staff and patients.

1 D. Williams, J. Dingley, C. Jones, N. Berry. ‘Contamination of laryngoscope handles’ Journal of hospital infection (2010) 74, 123-128

Solution:ER-SPEC comes out of the package ready for use. The entiredevice is single-use – one patient, one use. ER-SPEC reduces the risk of cross-contamination from poorly cleaned reusable parts and components. Be safe, not sorry.

Conclusion

With the rising cost of health care in the spotlight, medical facilities need to utilize the most cost effective and practical tools available. ER-SPEC offers features that are more efficient and help reduce risk of cross-contamination commonly found with reusable parts and components. Add the targeted light source that improves visualization and the ergonomic design for comfort; it is clear why ER-SPEC is the right choice for your facilities.

Make reusable light sources a thing of the past!

ER-SPEC Batteries

The ER-SPEC light source contains modern Alkaline batteries.

Alkaline batteries do not contain toxic materials per federal E.P.A. guidelines.

“Button” style AG3 batteries contain only enough chemistry for a single use.

It would take 300 AG3 batteries to equal the chemistry volume of just 1 average alkaline flashlight battery.

ER-SPEC Testimonials

“We absolutely love the ER-SPEC. They are a game changer for us. My docs no longer have to look for a light source and then a speculum and then wonder if it is clean and then wonder whatever else goes on in their head as the light bulb goes out. We love them.”

“Through a consortium of experts, we had a unique opportunity to test OBP’s ER-SPEC in a variety of settings. The ER-SPEC exceeded our expectations for both clinical evaluation and intra-vaginal photodocumentation. OBP’s innovative product design puts to rest many of our long-standing concerns related to corded and cordless lighted speculums!”

Rachell A. Ekroos PhC APRN-BC AFN-BC

Forensic Medical Consultant

“The ER-SPEC has been so popular with the ED physicians, it has now completely replaced our metal ones. The ease of use, reliability and brightness of the light source, and the fact that it’s completely single-use are all wonderful attributes. Once the physicians in our ED used them, they began asking the rest of the ED’s in our network of hospitals to stock them, too.”
